Hmm, it appears I have a bit of a hypothetical dilemma on my hands.
Late last year I reviewed the new Audi RS3 and, after having driven it, I explained how relieved I was that I didn’t trade my car for an S3. The RS3 is markedly better in almost...

When Audi first debuted the S3 at the Canadian International Auto Show back in 2014, I remember sitting in it, getting out, sizing it up and down and then saying to myself, perhaps even out loud, “this is going to be my next car”.

While I consider myself to be a fairly non-closeted fan of European cars, I have to admit, I’ve gone a bit back and forth when it comes to Audi. It has nothing to do with the product which obviously speaks for itself (hi Audi R8), but I’ve always...

Believe it or not, I actually don't like writing negative reviews. Luckily, since no manufacturer really makes 'bad' cars anymore, a negative review is of course relative to the segment and is a bit of a rarity.
This was supposed to be a glowing review.
From the moment the refreshed...

A few years ago I sat in the new Audi S3 at the Canadian International Auto Show and instantly knew it was something special.
I was asked how I could possibly know without even driving it and it is a tough question to answer. Part of the reason why...
